Psalms 125

1 They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Sion: he shall not be moved for ever that dwelleth

A Song of the going up. Those whose hope is in the Lord are like the mountain of Zion, which may not be moved, but keeps its place for ever.

2 In Jerusalem. Mountains are round about it: so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth now and for ever.

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people, from this time and for ever.

3 For the Lord will not leave the rod of sinners upon the lot of the just: that the just may not stretch forth their hands to iniquity.

For the rod of sinners will not be resting on the heritage of the upright; so that the upright may not put out their hands to evil.

4 Do good, O Lord, to those that are good, and to the upright of heart.

Do good, O Lord, to those who are good, and to those who are upright in heart.

5 But such as turn aside into bonds, the Lord shall lead out with the workers of iniquity: peace upon Israel.

But as for such as are turned out of the straight way, the Lord will take them away with the workers of evil. Let peace be on Israel.
